But Likins told regents UA only receives about four applications per year from home-schooled students, and only one or two actually enroll a year.

This number has me floored...how many hundreds of students each year apply to the UofA? And there are only 4 home-schooled students in that bunch?

Oh, wait a minute, I understand now! The rest of them are smart enough to go to really excellent colleges or universities, and those four have some other reason for specifically seeking UA admission...

Actually, odds are really good that most homeschooled students go to much better schools than UofA or any state school. Or religious schools. There is a huge college in the middle of Phoenix, one of the better Baptist schools in the country, whose name escapes me. There are also tons of homeschooled Arizona kids whose parents are just too smart to send their money to Tucson to waste 4 years on a gummint edjamication.

The rest of them ARE really smart. You'd be surprised.
